InArt: The Lord of the Rings - Gandalf 1:6

[Rzeznikk]

Yeah they’ll be the same quality. People must’ve asked him over and over again why they still haven’t received their invoices/figure when Kit posted a pic of Gandalfs box. They thought he’d already got his shipment so he needed to clear up any confusion.

No way no how InArt are gonna release “better” versions of the figure to reviewers and give the crappy 1st, 2nd, 3rd batches to us ‘common folk’ .

Could you imagine if that happened though? They’ll instantly die and there will be no coming back.

Agreed. I thought the same thing like....eh....wait what? What will we be getting then? But yeah if they played a bait and switch they'd be done. So done. I'm going to stay optimistic for now.

Nah fam, TRUST ME, what we see is what we will get.

The way Kit worded it may cause a wee bit confusion. “Applied” and “approved” meant the YouTubers had to apply to get the product first for review purposes. InArt approved them most likely due to their sub count (I wish I was approved ).

so before they ship out their BULK to vendors, they would pick out a handful from said bulk and expedite them to reviewers.

Nothing to stay optimistic “for now”. Stay “assured” (is that even a phrase?)

FOR ANYONE ELSE THAT MAY BE CONCERNED ABOUT THE FIRST BATCH:

THIS IS INART’S 2ND FIGURE. THEYRE NOT GONNA **** THINGS UP WITH A BAIT AND SWITCH.

Stay positive my FELLOWSHIP. What we see is what WE WILL GET.

GODLIKE SIXTH SCALE IS BACK ON THE MENU BOYS!!

The biggest problem with the jokor release was the inconsistency. Every headsculpt looked different from style or color. Some of it is expected but there is a big difference in some of the comparisons. Maybe that gives every figure some individuality but In general its better if they deliver a consistent product

I just hope there isn’t a blue tac issue on these too. That was my biggest issue about Joker.

IMO, with the joker, it’s not the biggest issues because in the movie itself, his make up would differ through out the whole movie. I suppose an argument could be had that this figure is supposed to represent the mob scene where he makes the pencil disappear, so the make up on the figure SHOULD be more consistent across the board.

But I guess the individuality aspect CAN be seen as the more interesting route…because at least we know it didn’t come off a conveyor belt.

What was the blue tac issue?

What was the blue tac issue?

Some of the head sculpts had their back panel (to access the PERS eye thing) secured with blue tac rather than magnet

I agree with this. Earlier batches were very inconsistent with later batches being the better ones IMO.

Oh wow I never knew that. I can definitely say that would have made me upset.

There was like 2-3 heads max that we saw with the blue tac. Wasn't a wide spread issue.

I believe these were figures used in promos and were accidentally sent to some customers. I would consider them unique.

Wonder if I can sell my blue tac joker for extra then.

“InArt Joker 1/6th Head with unique screen accurate blue cranial fluid - asking price $1500”

We'll see... if someone gets a blu-tac Gandalf, check the hair against the figure in the above videos.

 

[Chopper Face]

There’s definitely varying degrees or green and strawberry blonde/brown hair across all batches of Joker due to their inconsistent method for colouring the hair.

That won’t be the case for Gandalf’s uniformly grey hair. The tonal variance there comes from grease/ styling product.

 

[Luisenigma1]

Definitely hope the quality stays the same (though I do not doubt it will stay the same) this is up there as one of the best releases we've gotten in years just wait for Aragorn. I can see the Hobbits using the new body made for Harry Potter. We'll have articulated rubber or silicone Hairy feet for sure. Lol

 

[ObiGlennKenobi]

Spectacular...

...THUD....

THAT detail to the One Ring!!
THE Moth hand!!
Light up Staff.

Is this proven or is this the result of inconsistencies in photos from one individual to another? I’m just curious.

Without being officially confirmed, it’s proven in the sense that the variances are observable across all our Jokers.

 

[Nyhargo Dirge]

I am grateful that our hobby has some players that have elevated the hobby to art status. These are figures, true; but they’re also multi-media works of art. I would have never dreamed my love for Kung Fu grip GI Joe could’ve turned into this. It’s been the catalyst to scale down my collection in appreciation of what is to come.

 

[WolfBoy]

These are hand made items, there are always going to be slight variations with details on paint. As long as it's not "bad" variations, i have no issue with this. It's the nature of what we are buying.
Even with the few minor issues with the Joker, for InArt to produce that level of work at a mass scale and still have it mostly turn out pretty great across the board is a good sign. Hopefully more releases means these issues get even smaller.
